Relaxing water excursion
This was a lovely excursion with beautiful views. Our guides and staff were friendly and helpful. The weather did not cooperate fully, and we faced some precipitation challenges, but that didn't stop the staff from making the best of things. We still enjoyed delicious drinks, snacks, and music aboard. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to enjoy a nice relaxing afternoon on the water.

An excellent and very experienced guide.
Newton was my private tour guide for 2 day tour of Rio. He is a very nice gentleman, knowledgeable and flexible enough to accomodate all my changes. On second day late afternoon evening we visited the night market of Copacabana beach. We also went to see the dinner/show of Roxy which provide a comprehensive cultural history of Brazil. I learnt a lot. I highly recommend Newton as a guide.

Fantastic Rio tour
Victor was very friendly and easy to talk to. Overall, the tour was very compressive. If you don’t have lot of time to venture Rio this tour is very good to get a good feel for the city and attractions. My son, who is the same age as Victor, said it is was an amazing experience to have Victor as our tour guide and I completely agree with him! Both him and Sergio, our driver and DJ :), were such fun to hang out with! It should also be noted that Victor spoke excellent English and catered perfectly to the English speaking tourists along with the Portuguese speaking tourists as well. They both also had an excellent sense of humor! Loved every bit of my tour :)

Recommend Rio tour for key sites
Amazing Rio tour with Nathaly - everything went smoothly as she knew the best routes to take, best views, saved time at the busy sites and had great knowledge of Rio with many recommendations. Our driver was also great, navigating the Rio traffic with ease and also very friendly. The car is comfortable and air conditioned. Would 100% recommend this tour. The time just flew by.

Peter was definitely a...
Peter was definitely a good time! He kept us on schedule, accommodated me since I was traveling the same day, and still made sure we had a great experience despite the weather not being the best.
If it was this good on a bad weather day, I can only imagine how amazing it would be on a perfect one. Thank you again, Peter! 🇧🇷✨

Great tour
We had a great time exploring Rochina with Mateo. We were picked up by Mateo and taken to the favela by Uber to meet the rest of the group. We spent plenty of time walking round exploring with Mateo who was very good at explaining anything you wanted to know about Rochina. He is a local & it was great to hear from his experience.
The only thing I would say, this tour advertises taking you to two favelas but we only explored Rochina - it wasn’t an issue for us as we had a great time anyway, just be aware. Also, there is a lot of walking up & down stairs that are quite steep.

Relaxing and beautiful!
The crew was so lovely! They went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed, even giving us personal connections for other things we’d like to do in the city. They were great at navigating through weather so that we still got our beautiful sunset. Also bonus is that the captain was a woman, a minority in the field and we love to see and support it!

Peter the Great
Peter is a very skilled tour guide and it became clear at every destination that everyone knew him and treated our group with preference. He provided insights and kept the tour moving although it was a very long day. The lunch at a Brazilian steakhouse was great. Would highly recommend.

Well worth it!
I read many reviews that said this was well worth it, and I couldn’t agree more. I spent over two hours exploring both beautiful stops. Had I not had the skip the line, I would’ve had an additional (at least) two hours of just waiting. There are signs that are marked priority/fast. Make sure you go through those marked areas and the staff will help move you through.

Rainy day...but still incredible
Sometimes you win with the weather and sometimes you lose. We scheduled this tour on a day that unfortunately ended up 100% rain and clouds. Despite the weather, Ederson (our guide) made the day amazing. He adjusted the morning schedule as much as possible in hopes of the weather clearing by afternoon (it didn't).
We had a great tour of the city from his car and learned so much about Rio. We finally attempted the big events late morning (Christ the Redeemer) and Sugarloaf Mountain). We were able to see the Redeemer through the rain and clouds (as a shadow outline), but could see almost nothing from Sugarloaf. I can only imagine how amazing this tour would be on a clear/sunny day.
Another positive to a rainy day...we didn't wait in a single line all day (in peak summer tourism).

Wonderful trip with all the must-sees!
It was really a hard hitting who’s who of Rio- we saw I think all the major attractions in an absolute whirlwind! The timing was very good for the most part. Maybe a few more minutes could have been spent here or there, but you’ll see everything, rain or shine!

Great Brazilian Tour Experience! 🇧🇷
Extremely friendly, detailed and professional. Very complete and knowledgeable tour guide and driver. Melanie is just so caring about conducting a very informative, safe and complete comfortable Tour. Clear direction for every meet check points. Ensuring all tour participants are following the schedule. Great ambassador of your Tour Brand. Great local experience, clear content in the 3 languages. Glad I selected the Tour Gray Line Brazil.
